I can’t remember the last time I bought clothes for myself or the kids without bee-lining it directly to the sales rack. I can’t even remember the last time I bought something that wasn’t absolutely (or pretty damn close to) necessary. Before we had kids, my husband and I used to enjoy eating out at nicer restaurants on a regular basis. We don’t do that anymore. We use generic brand diapers (or wash our own) and have mostly given up on organic groceries. When Young C asks for a treat while we’re out I usually just tell him that I don’t have enough money for treats today. He seems to get it.
